15 405 STDT

Why?

Why?

Well it was local, looked good, was cheep, and suposedly nneded very little for the MOT.

I had always liked the 405, ever since a motor show at the GMEX in manchester. Along with the new Vitara, Mini ERA turbo and other stuff there was a Peugot Mi16 4x4.. It looked fantastic..

So a smart looking 405 tempted me.

£94 bought this 1993 STDT in black, it's actualy quite a nice car overall. But the MOT was worse than I had been told. I have spent the time and money sorting most of the problems. It was intended that the car would fill the gap whislt the Volvo 850 was off the road, but then ( car 16 ) came up.. And that's that.. I jsut have to get rid of the car now!!

UPDATE!!!!
------------

YAY! the 405 is gone, I got £75 in the end which was a loss of £119 OUCH! but I still have the stereo and a wheel trim to flog from it.

Just glad it's gone.

The Mk3 Capri

The MK3 Crapi.

Bought in May 2005 for £50, it had no front wings, rot in the strut top mounts, no bumpers and would rather stall than rev.
Sourcing wings was more trouble than I had imagined. But they turned up in the end and after a few short weekends worth of work the car was looking solid. Then interest and bad wether got the better of us..

I gave it a new set of ignition componenets and set the timing up and it ran a lot better, the car was bolted back together... And then my mate decided he needed his garage back to put a MK1 golf in..

A few weeks later the car went to a new owner in exchange for another Sierra ( Car 15 ). And so my brief foray into Capri ownership was over, I had only driven it about 50 yards!
